Fire in Microwave…

I did a stupid thing yesterday…

I bought a roasted chicken packed in a paper bag but got home a little late and chicken slightly cold, thus without thinking put the whole thing into the microwave to reheat while unpacking other stuff into the fridge… Suddenly, I started seeing sparkles inside the microwave and upon taking a closer look, saw the paper bag on fire… Immediately, I switched off the microwave, took out the plate with the chicken and bag and luckily for me, it was a small fire that diminished very quickly once it’s out of the enclosed area… Out of curiousity, I examined the bag and realized that I’ve overlooked the fact that its that kind of paper bag with “metal” inside to keep your food warm but actually shouldn’t be put into the microwave at all…

A lesson learned and would be more careful in the future while dealing with other appliances…
